Following on from the Seven Network announcement that MARLISA has taken out The X Factor title for 2014, Sony Music Entertainment Australia is pleased to announce that MARLISA’S debut single ‘Stand By You’ will be released October 24.

‘Stand By You’ was written by Australia’s premium songwriting duo, Anthony Egizii and David Musumeci aka DNA Songs. The pair have written numerous multi-platinum singles including Grammy award winner and global superstar Ricky Martin’s ‘Come With Me,’ Jessica Mauboy’s ‘Never Be The Same,’ and last year’s X Factor winner, Dami Im’s ‘Alive’ which debuted at #1 on the ARIA charts and achieved Gold sales in the first week of release.

Marlisa was only 14 years old when she wowed the judges in her audition for The X Factor, performing The Beatles classic ‘Yesterday.’ The Mt Druitt local who was the youngest contestant in the competition went on to deliver some of the greatest performances of the season, with a total of 3 hits ranking in the top 40 on the iTunes charts.
